Iraqi Deaths vs. Radical Islamic Murders

First posted 10/143/05: This is very typical and nothing new but I will continue to point it out.

There is not a day that goes by that the mainstream media doesn't run multiple pieces on the "deaths in Iraq".  Also huge is the number of US soldiers killed in Iraq.

A Look at U.S. Military Deaths in Iraq
AP - As of Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2005, at least 1,964 members of the U.S. military have died since the beginning of the Iraq war in March 2003, according to an Associated Press count. At least 1,528 died as a result of hostile action, according to the military's numbers. The figures include five military civilians. Full Story

 

What you never see is the death toll exacted on innocent civilians at the bloody hands of Radical Jihadists. Over at the Religion of Peace they have the running list;

The List " of Islamic Terror Attacks Just  Since September 11th, 2001

 

 

This is the number of attacks since 9/11, not the number dead. What would these leftard journalists prefer, having their thumbsucking asses blown up at their desks while dining on their sushi lunches?

Soldiers die. It is a horror. That's what soldiers do. That's what an army is for. That is the military's job, to defend and protect. Fighting al qaida in Iraq is a brilliant strategy. Taking down major buildings in NYC is an act of war. Khobar act of war. USS Cole act of war. You get my meaning.

Iraqi-based terrorists have been urged by Osama bin Laden's deputy to stop beheading foreign hostages and shoot them instead - not because decapitation is wrong but because it may be counterproductive in the battle for Muslims' "hearts and minds."

Write to the media of your choice and demand they run the daily death toll of human life at the barbaric hands of our enemy, Radical Islamic Jihadists. Oh and make sure you click on the link to the list to see the horrific fashion in which each these innocents were murdered. It is no wonder that the moderate Muslims are afraid to speak out.

Update: October 14 received my daily notification;

AP: 3,663 Killed in Iraq in Past 6 Months
Guardian Unlimited - UK The AP gathered the statistics on Iraqi dead on a daily basis from hospital officials, Iraqi police, the Iraqi military and other government officials.

UPDATE: October 2oth received my head count

Concerns Over Iraq Growing on Homefront
AP via Yahoo! News
Bob Simpson dips his brush in a jar of black paint and starts scrawling two numbers on a sign he hangs outside his home — totals for U.S. soldiers killed and wounded in Iraq.

Why does this putz Bob make news? Why doesn't Bob have a paint a ginormous sign of the thousands of innocent dead from Radical Islamic homicide attacks? Why doesn't Bob do that? Is it because there is not enough paint in Bob's town or is it because Bob won't make the AP newswire if he does that?

Pamela you are 100% correct, the MSM and it’s allies on the left will not report correctly the deaths and atrocities committed by the islamofascists. They are hoping for a repeat of Vietnam when the big three would report daily our casualties to demoralize the public. I have complained repeatedly to the local editors of the local rag the Wilmington Star to no avail. Of course this paper is owned by the NY Times and as you would expect it is a left leaning fish wrapper. Can you imagine what the coverage would be if these editors were in charge during WWII when the USMC lost 6821 KIA and over 18,000 wounded on the black sands of Iwo Jima all in just a little over a month?

Your other comment “ Soldiers die. It is a horror. That's what soldiers do. That's what an army is for. That is the military's job, to defend and protect” is also right on the mark. As fairly recently retired SNCO with 22 years of service and an active volunteer firefighter and EMT, I can guarantee you two things. The GI’s on active duty today understand the threat that is posed, and they are willing to pay the price if need be to fight this scourge on distant shores to prevent another disaster that kills 343 brothers plus a huge number of innocent civilians. Much better to take the fight to the enemy than have them in our backyard.

Yes. Would an Israeli air strike on Iranian nuclear facilities be an act of war?
Yes or No?

The Bush Doctrine: pre-emptive attack. Israel, take out the Iranian reactors, since the mad mullahs have said nukes are an aspect of jihad. Is jihad war? Yes or no?
